Customer feedback is represented by aggregate ratings only, with most ratings in the five-star category but some lower ratings as well. That offers a generally favourable but not unanimous signal, and does not identify why customers rated it as they did. Consider the stated 30-sheet limit and the listing's format and dimension inconsistencies when deciding whether it fits your routine use.
